Noticing Damp in Your Home?

Have you noticed that you have damp spots in your home that didn’t seem to be there before? This could be a worrying sign that there is a leak in your home. If you’re finding damp spots, or pools of water then this tends to be because of a leak somewhere in your home. If you notice any signs of dampness, make sure to get a specialist out to your home as soon as possible.

Increased Water Bill

Perhaps you’ve seen your water bill has gone up unexpectedly, and yet you don’t feel like you’ve used much water? A high water bill could be a potential sign of leaking water, which could be due to a leak. If you’ve noticed that your water bills have gone up for no reason, you might have a leak somewhere in your property.

Dripping Sounds

Are you hearing sounds of dripping water in your home, and you aren’t sure where its coming from? If you’ve checked all of your taps, hoses, and appliances are off and you can still hear a sound of dripping water then this might be a leak. If you’ve checked everything and the sound is still there, its best to contact a leak detection specialist to see if its due to a leak.

Damage in Your Property

If you’ve noticed damage in your property and you’re not quite sure what its from, then it could be due to a leak. You might be seeing signs of staining, discolouration, dampness, or cracks in your cupboards, under your sink, or on your windows or appliances. These could all be potential signs of a leak in your home that’s causing water damage, so be sure to get it checked out.

Loss in Boiler Pressure

Have you noticed that you have had a loss in boiler pressure, and your central heating has been affected or not working at all? Leaks are one of the most common causes of boilers losing pressure, which can lead to your central heating not working. If you have had any problems with your boiler or your heating, they could be due to a leak somewhere in the property.

We realised we had a leak as the pipes hissing. Using their non intrusive leak detection they narrowed it down to under our kitchen floor. They dug in that spot and were within 20mm of where the leak was. Great service.

Absolutely horrendous customer service. We have a leak and the office manager Tim had no customer skill in how to deal with customer queries. Did not go ahead has no faith they will be able to provide customer support should we have any issues after we had paid, also don’t be fooled by the no leak no fee , it’s a scam. Please I strongly urge you to read the 1* reviews , I wish I had done that before calling as exactly my experience , I was shouted at was refused to speak the next person in charge. Please check the 1* on trust pilot before you hand over your hard earned money They tried to get my review removed from trust pilot as of course the truth is hard to swallow. But the truth always win and they were proven wrong! Folks I done my bit to raise awareness, now the choice is yours

I am leaving a review on behalf of one step ahead, Woking. We had a continuous leak from our ceiling at our salon! Numerous workers came to try and fix the leak and was unsuccessful. However, when I called specials leak detection they came out within the hour! Moe found the leak super quick and told us what it was. We got it fixed and haven’t had a leak since! I am so pleased with the business they did a fantastic job!

I found Specialist Leak Detection a very efficient and professional company to deal with. They were especially helpful and understanding when I had to re-arrange their visit. I wouldn’t hesitate to book them again should the need arise.

We commend Specialist Leak Detection to the highest! Right from the initial phone call to completion of the job we felt that we were dealing with professionals. Tyler gave us a call on his way to tell us he was stuck in traffic and gave us a revised ETA. So, great communication. Upon arrival he presented himself as a friendly, caring professional, and got to work immediately. Using thermal detection equipment he located the leaking pipe under a concrete floor. With the offending problem now exposed it was agreed that he fix the issue working tirelessly until he successfully did so. A detailed report is now on the way to us to present to our insurance company. Absolutely superb service!
